<p class="C1">&#65279NEST&#256, village 2 km south of A&#7789&#257r&#299 in Amritsar district of the Punjab, is sacred to Gur&#363 Hargobind (1595-1644) who stayed here for a while during his journey from Lahore to Amritsar. According  to local tradition, at the villagers' complaint that the water of their well was brackish, the Gur&#363 had them dig another well close to it. The water of this well was sweet (<i>mi&#7789&#7789h&#257</i>, in Punjabi). Both these wells still exist side by side. The shrine established here came to be called Mi&#7789&#7789h&#257sar. Gurdw&#257r&#257 Mi&#7789&#7789h&#257sar Chhev&#299&#7749 P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 , as it is now named, is situated north of the village close to the approach road from A&#7789&#257r&#299. Its present building, constructed in 1930 in a half-acre walled compound, comprises a modest-sized hall with a domed sanctum inside it. The Gurdw&#257r&#257 is managed by a village Committee under the auspices of the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak  Committee.</p>
